USB safely remove is using 11.7 MB, but as mentioned, that's nothing compared to what some other programs use and with 1 GB of memory on board, there's lots to spare.

avoids, I noticed that Firefox is using over 51 MB of memory, which is worse than what USB Safely remove uses. That is caused by memory leaks which is what FF is notorious for.
Totally off topic, I know.
I would like to suggest that you download and install a little Utility called Firefox Ultimate Optimizer which will reduce the amount of memory FF uses and improve it's performance.

@Midnight - Yeah, 51 MB for Firefox is low (at the moment it's about 60 MB; and goes as high as 101 MB. I wish Mozilla would do something about that

Wouldn't a Firefox optimizer just drastically lower the cache usage? I don't have a lightning quick broadband, so page caching is quite useful.

Cheers

EDIT: Well from what I've read - http://www.ghacks.net/2008/01/12/firefo ... optimizer/ - the Firefox Ultimate Optimizer is just snake oil. It just moves RAM usage into Virtual Memory and eats CPU cycles. Given the choice, I'd stick with physical RAM being used by Firefox.
